How we can help
How do you select your caregivers?
We use a rigorous screening process that focuses on personality as much as qualifications. We look for individuals who are passionate about Making Lives Better and then pair clients with caregivers who share similar interests and personalities.
Can I have the same caregiver every time?
Yes, consistency is our priority. We strive to provide a small, dedicated team of caregivers so you can build genuine relationships and trust.
Do you provide care for specific conditions like dementia?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained to support clients living with Alzheimer's, dementia and other age related conditions. We focus on ability rather than disability, creating a safe environment that adapts to changing needs.
I am looking for a job as a caregiver. Where do I apply?
We would love to hear from you. The "Book a Consult" form is intended for those seeking care, so if you are interested in a caregiving role, please visit our Careers Page to view our open positions and apply directly with our recruitment team.

Shell Miles
This service is just amazing and we are so grateful and happy we found it! We needed some after surgery nursing care, to be provided in our home as we couldn't get out to the hospital, with the care and expertise expected from a hospital service. Our nurse, Michelle, was absolutely wonderful and a ray of light during such a difficult time. She is very friendly, approachable and knew exactly what she was doing. We were very impressed with the whole service, from first contact with the Intake Centre to the ongoing care provided by Michelle. The care and compassion across the entire service was amazing. When we had an issue getting help Nurse Next Door was there for us, thank you!

Susanne Dittrich
The nursing team at Nurse Next Door are friendly, helpful and professional in caring for me. I have confidence in them and know they will be there for me when I need medical assistance. I am on the government End of Life Pathway Program for people who have less than 3 months left to live. Nurse Next Door has spent time getting to know me and my wife personally to ensure they know our requirements and anticipate what future needs we may have. They have also offered to assist us in many other ways as I am be cared for in my home. This takes a big burden off of our shoulders to know that we are well supported in difficult times.

Debbie from Nurses Next Door is just lovely. Very kind, patient and understanding. She had gone out of her way to help me and make me feel comfortable as well as help with things that my support coordinator could be doing. She has contacted my GP herself for prescriptions and followed up on other needs.
